About Portuguese Primeira Liga

The Primeira Liga is a tournament among professional football clubs in Portugal, played since 1934.

Only 5 clubs became the champions of Portugal: these are Porto, Benfica, Sporting, Belenenses and Boavista, and the last two clubs have only one title each.

Every club plays two games with each of the other teams, once at home and once at the opponent's stadium. This totals 34 games throughout the season.

Upon completion of the season, the three teams that took the last three spots will leave the top division, their places will be taken by the 3 best teams from Liga Portugal 2.

The top Primeira Liga teams qualify for the UEFA Champions League, with the top two teams directly advancing to the group stage.

The third-placed team advances to the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League group stage; if they fail to qualify, they enter the UEFA Europa League along with the fourth-placed team and the Taça de Portugal cup winners. If the winner of the Taça de Portugal cup qualifies for the UEFA Champions League via league places, the place is given to the fifth placed team.
